About individualism, family(ism?), and tribalism
With the west being he center point for individual
The east (asia) for family
And africa for tribalism
we used to be more on the family side for sure
But not more than asia

@Deleted User Well individual rights are a nice ideal but can be damaging, like a drug attic can say its my right to do that drug. Yes it is but that can affect other people there for it should be illegal. Because the damage ought weights the freedom.
But you could say the same about guns. But the right to defend ones self out weights the damage firearms make.
Individuals
Free speech
Wooh
whats that thing in your avi
ensuring the rights of the individual
Collective
It's rather self-evident that the interests of the collective should be prioritized over that of the individual. The near-extinction of smallpox, polio, etc from the general public were collective population-wide efforts that ended more human misery than any single advance in individual political rights ever has. Likewise one of the largest sources of misery in the public today is found in the unchecked consumption of processed foods and the resulting degradation of body, mind, and spirit- the only plausible solution to which involves collective efforts in constraining individuals. If individual rights are important at all they are only important as political tools toward collective ends, particularly as barriers towards the majority appropriating the resources of or otherwise arbitrarily oppressing the minority in ways that ultimately harm the collective.
